Marlene Bart

Dr. Marlene Bart lives and works in Berlin. She explores the intersection of natural and medical history with fine arts. As an artistic researcher and futurist, she investigates how a shared visual language in art and science can address complex topics such as systems of order. Her current focus is on examining our relationship with visual taxonomies through augmented reality.

Bart employs a variety of multimedia techniques, including printmaking, artist books, sculptures, taxidermy, installations, and extended reality animations. 

In her work, she explores central questions of interspecies communication, including the evolving relationship between humans, nature, and technology, and the need to move away from an anthropocentric perspective. She incorporates feminist perspectives into this dialogue.

Bart has collaborated with esteemed institutions such as the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, the Tieranatomisches Theater, the Zeiss Planetarium, and the Max Planck Institute.
